Buggers are great. If you want to try something totally off the wall...

Devil's Advocate

Hook: TMC 200 (6-8)
Tail: Small rabbit strip (color of choice) and a small collar of same wound in a dubbing loop over thread wraps from tail. Krystal Flash is optional
Body: Tapered thread, thin in front widening aft. Mix 5 minute epoxy with a fine pinch of fine red glitter (or color of choice)

I sometimes will place an upward bend in the hook after tying the tail in place.

The best color combos I use are black/red, purple/red or white/pink (if you can find pink glitter)

A change to this pattern would be replacing the epoxy with glass beads.

This fly is great on an intermediate line at RF.
